Bandai Namco and Dimps have confirmed that Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is heading toward the finish line. Future Saga Chapter 4, the game's final DLC, is set to arrive this Summer 2026, according to a new announcement accompanied by a trailer teasing what sounds like a commemorative final showdown.
Xenoverse 2 originally launched back in 2016, making this a remarkable near-decade run of post-launch support for a single title. The game has continued receiving balance updates throughout that entire span, which is an unusual level of longevity for a licensed fighting game - especially one that launched before live-service models became the industry standard.
Going out with a bang
Details on Future Saga Chapter 4 are still light beyond what the trailer teases, but framing it as a "commemorative showdown" suggests Dimps is aiming to give the game's storyline a proper sendoff rather than just dropping one last character pack and calling it a day. For a game that built its identity around the Time Patrol and alternate Dragon Ball timelines, a narrative conclusion feels fitting.
Xenoverse 2 carved out a dedicated player base by offering something the mainline Dragon Ball fighting games don't - a persistent RPG loop where players build and customize their own Saiyan, Namekian, or other race-based character. That hook kept people coming back through wave after wave of DLC content spanning characters from nearly every corner of the Dragon Ball franchise.
What comes next?
The obvious question following this announcement is what Bandai Namco and Dimps have planned after closing the book on Xenoverse 2. A third entry in the series has been a long-running topic in the community, and wrapping up the second game's content pipeline would be the logical precursor to making that move. For now though, fans still have one last chapter to look forward to before the servers settle into maintenance mode.
Future Saga Chapter 4 is expected to drop sometime in Summer 2026. As reported by Noisy Pixel, no specific release date has been confirmed yet beyond that seasonal window.
